"KENOBIIIIIIII!" Maul scream as yet another shock of lighting ended, tears soaked his face as he panted for air. His legs, numb. He was chained to the wall with sorrow and pain spilling from him like a chained broken animal. His stomach roared for food. His lips and mouth, dry from the lack of anything to drink. His voice, hoarse from screaming. He knew it was useless to scream. No one would help him. And the one he wanted and needed the most was worlds away. He was alone with no one to help him. Alone with the only being, he feared his entire life.

He could only wish it would end soon. Whether it would be the torture that would end, him passing out from the pain, or his death. It didn't matter at this moment anymore to Maul. His mind was teetering back and forth on the wall. He knew he didn't want to fall on the wrong side of the wall. Only one side of it had a floor to catch him. The other side was that endless abyss. The same one that took him years to crawl out of with the help of Satine, Feral, and Arsayh. Here, he had no one. No Satine. No Feral. No Arsayh. And yet again, no Obi-wan. He only had the monster that stole him, shaped him, and killed his most family to keep power over him. He was locked in the one chamber with the monster that makes grown men shake in their boots. If he didn't feel numb with the pain, he would be shaking. Was he shaking? He couldn't tell. He couldn't tell if Sidious was saying something. He could only hear the rapid beating of his twin hearts and his gulping of the air that was heated from the lighting. He couldn't even sense anything. His mind was too focus on just trying to attempt to block the pain out.

Please no more.

Maul wanted it to stop. He wanted his Jedi to break through the chamber door and catch his captor by surprise. He wanted this monster out of his head.

Maul screamed as another wave of force lightning hit him.

"AHHHHHH! NO! STOP PLEASE!" Maul's body arched as the electricity coursed its way through him. It tore and popped nerves Maul never thought he was able to feel. He swore if he felt anything, it was his fingers as the blood drained from them turning them a pale shade than them turning from a grey to a black as his nerves were severed from the lighting with that smell that would stop even the most vicious, feral, and ferocious of creatures in their place to turn around and run away. The smell of burning flesh. Only one creature Maul knew of that could stand the smell and love it. The monster that was causing the smell, causing his pain.

The wave of lightning stopped.

Maul's head snapped down as he tried to slurp down as much air as possible. Once he felt like he gathered enough breath, he tried to lift his head. He could still hear the electricity jolting through his body. Still burning off more nerves. His bloodshot eyes made contact with the pure yellow ones across the room. His mouth was moving. He was speaking to Maul. Maul couldn't hear him and he didn't care what he had to say anyways. He was too focused on lifting his head up further as the muscles in his neck screamed at him to stop. To just hang from his hands and relax. But Maul continued his gaze up and his eyes widened at what he saw. His fingers were black with smoke rising from them. He tried to move them but he couldn't. He could see the blackening of dead flesh nearly at the top of his wrists, his entire hands, useless, just hanging there. The only thing that held him up and off the floor was the chains around his wrists. The chains. The chains were the easy part. He remembered in his past how the countless amounts of chains that he had broken with his bare hands. He dared not to look at his legs. For all he knew, they could be as bad as his hands. He would be as much droid as Vader is. He prayed to the Winged Goddess and to the Fanged God for him not to turn into such a monster like Vader and the one causing his pain. He would rather die than for that to happen. His head fell as he could register that more tears were falling from his eyes.

Please just let me die now. Maul prayed in his head.

"Perhaps you will agree amongst those terms." Sidious' voice finally registered in Maul's head. Maul painfully brought his head up for his eyes to meet the piercing yellow ones. His confusion was written all over his face. Was this monster trying to make a deal with him?

No! Why?! Why do you still want me alive?! You said it yourself that I'm broken! If I am broken that what use am I to you?!

Obi-wan clumsily walked around Chopper base. Dark bags under his eyes. He rubbed his arms through his sleeves. Goosebumps rose everywhere on his body and they wouldn't stop. He held his breath as he kept tears from falling from his eyes. He could feel Maul. He could feel everything that was happening to him. He knew that he could feel things that happened to Maul through their bond, but this felt worse than the fever. This made him want to die. This feeling of pain, dread, and hopelessness. Whatever was happening to his mate he swore he wouldn't stop trying to free him until his last breath.

"Master Kenobi, are you feeling alright? What are you doing?" Ezra blocked Obi-wan's path to the ships.

"We have to save him." Obi-wan's voice was tiny,

"Master Kenobi, we're not yet ready. Galen isn't even fully healed yet." Ezra said not letting Obi-wan pass him.

"Bantha shit Ezra! Ready or not, Jedi went out to battle the Sith. I will not let Maul suffer in there at who's ever hands. I do not care if you and your friends are ready or not. I am going to save my mate, with or without you." Obi-wan shouts and pushes Ezra aside than marches towards the ships.

Maul was left alone hanging in his chamber. The monster had left. His stomach constantly roared demanding for food. He had to find some kind of food. Anything would do. But he had to break free first.

The chains. The chains are the easy part.

Maul dared not to look back up at his crisped hands. He looked down at his legs. He was able to move them. He bent his legs and placed his feet flat against the wall. Taking deep rapid breaths, Maul pushed himself forward as if he was launching himself at someone to attack them. Nothing.

He threw himself forward again and heard the metal start to moan under the stress as Maul pulled. He pulled again and again until the chains finally snapped. He fell harshly to the ground and he groaned through his teeth not trying to get the Imperials to hear him.

He tried to stand by whenever he came close to standing pain seared through his body. Seems like he'll just have to crawl around. His body still shook. Electricity still coursing through his body as it laid upon the cold ground. He looked at his hands, they weren't burnt to a crisp. His hand were perfectly fine besides being numb.

He searched the entire room and all he found was a small hole in the wall at the floor possibly connecting to the hallway or to another room. Maul was able to shove his hands into the hole. He curled his fingers trying to rip the hole bigger, he could possibly shove the bed into the corner to hide the hole.

"Maul?" A female voice spoke and he heard someone walking in the room next to his. The next thing he knows there's a soft hand resting on his.

"Lady... Tano?" Maul's voice was nothing over a raspy whisper.

"Yes it's me, Maul, how did you get in here?" Ahsoka's voice spoke and he felt her thumb rubbing his hand.

"I had... joined your friends to help them... defeat Vader." Maul said enjoying the feeling of her hand in his. "Lady Tano," Maul said after a pause.

"Yes, Maul?" Ahsoka answered

"He's alive." Maul roughly laughed "Kenobi is alive... and here I am captured..."

"Don't think of it like that Maul, we will get out of here." Ahsoka squeezed his hand reassuringly.

"I don't know Lady Tano, I can't take much more before I... fall again." Maul said softly

"Think of Master Obi-wan, Maul, we'll be free soon. Kanan and the others will be here soon." Ashoka reassured him.

"I hope you are right Lady Tano..." Maul's voice faded, "But Obi-wan won't want to look at me anymore. What Sidious did can not be hidden

"Say, Lady Tano, I don't expect that you have any food over there." Maul said and he felt the hand disappear, but he didn't hear any footsteps. He didn't feel or hear anything for what felt like forever.

"Lady Tano?" Maul's voice pitched high with some worry then he felt something be placed in his hand.

"I'm still here Maul. I only have a small rations bar to give to you, it's my last one. Imperial guards come around every two or three days with food. Droids if we're lucky. My best guess is that they're trying to break you by starving you out." Ahsoka said as Maul pulled his hands back. He looked at the small rations bar, he wanted to just eat it all now, but in the five days he's been in there, he would agree with Lady Tano's hypothesis. He took a small bite out of the rations bar.

"And you can call me Ahsoka." Her voice came through the hole.

"No. Anyone I ever get too close to ends up getting killed, Lady Tano. I thank you for your friendship, even after everything I have done to you and your friends." Maul spoke hiding the rations bar under his bed.

"I know the things you've done are questionable, Maul, but I can see as well as Master Obi-wan can that your intentions are good." Ashoka replied to him and he opened his mouth to speak again until he heard footsteps.

"Quiet Lady Tano." Maul said as he turned and laid against the hole to hide it. His body still shook from the electricity. He let it body relax against the metal flooring and his head be propped up by the wall. Soon the door to his chamber opened up to reveal the monster.

"I haven't broken you yet. No... not yet." Sidious hissed looking back and forth at where Maul was hanging to where he is laying.

"Have you thought about my proposal to you?" Sidious questioned Maul.

"Never. I would never join the likes of you. Never again." Maul hissed

"It is unwise to deny my request." Sidious commented

"You'll have to kill me before you get any answers from me. I will never do anything more for the Sith. How they've fallen to deal with droids." Maul tried to piss them off.

"Taunting me will not work. You will work with me sooner or later, once you're part of the dark side, you're always a part of the dark side. Even you proved that one Maul." Sidious said and an IT-O Interrogation droid floated into the chamber.

"Our droids will hopefully convince you that returning to the dark side is the best thing to do." Sidious said and Maul wanted to snarl at the droid, but he remained calm.

"How the Sith have fallen, you can't break me with your methods, so you send in a droid." Maul taunted

"You will see that you would rather have me torturing you. I was merciful to you, my old apprentice. This droid, however, holds no mercy." Sidious spoke and he left Maul in the chamber alone with the droid.
